Hatch attacks Napolitano’s immigration comments
Sen. Orrin Hatch joined 11 other GOP senators in a letter Friday criticizing Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano for saying legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants would be a boon to the economy.
However, Hatch himself has previously called for ways to legalize aliens short of giving them amnesty, and has pushed bills to repeal sanctions against employers who hire illegal workers, as well as bills to allow illegal immigrants to receive federal loans and work-study assistance for college.
However, Hatch and Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, more recently have been under attack by Utah conservatives who say they sometimes are too liberal. The critics include several conservatives who are challenging Bennett in his re-election bid next year, and have said he is not tough enough on illegal immigration.

We need good constitutional leaders in Washington,not these whishy washy sell outs. First thing we need to do is clean house in Washington. The next thing is term limits. We need fresh bold blood who’s not afraid to walk the walk, not just talk a good game. Illegal aliens have to go. They depleted all our federal programs and bankruped our hospitals. If we had real leadership in Washington instead of sell outs we wouldn’t need bail outs. THEY SOLD US OUT FOLKS, PLAN AND SIMPLE.
